Now the first thing to understand is that starting a cook-off network is very similar to starting a podcast. First, you need to really, who is the audience? What is the positioning of your show and why should someone subscribe to an individual podcast? Right. And so I assume. Now that you're looking at starting a podcast network that you've already done, that you have a successful podcast, but for every other new podcast in your network, you have to make sure what's the bursting. What's the strategy. And why should someone subscribe? If you, if you do that for every show, then you're, it's very likely that your podcast network is going to succeed. Aside from that, which is really the most important thing. There is some logistical stuff. There is a bit of software technical stuff that you need to set up as well. And so we actually, well, the first thing you really need is a podcast host somewhere to host your podcasts that allow you to have multiple or even unlimited podcasts. And so what we have&nbsp; is a solution where, uh, for earliest account, you can only have one show for our middle account. You can have three and four, our top account. You can have. A total of our limited podcast. So for our legendary account, you could come and you can start your podcast network on B cast. It would be very easy. It would be very simple. You can give different people in your team access to different podcasts. You can create a separate website, a separate domain for each podcast on your network and the experience who's going to be very easy for you to upload and get those shows growing. That'd be cuffs. We. Focus on building software that helps businesses and marketers grow their show. And so if you're looking to grow your podcast network, generate sponsorship, generate revenue for products or services, then big cost is probably the best place for you. But to summarize starting a podcast network is very similar to starting podcasts. You have to make sure that each podcast is going to be successful in the network. And then you just need to ensure that your hosting solution allows you to have multiple podcasts and it's optimized for the growth of your podcast network. So I hope this episode helped you in your quest to start a podcast network. I look forward to speaking to you in the next one.</div>

<div>14 day free bCast podcast hosting trial: <a href="https://www.bcast.fm">https://www.bcast.fm</a> Blog post on how to start a video podcast: <a href="https://www.bcast.fm/blog/video-podcast">https://www.bcast.fm/blog/video-podcast</a> Transcript: How to start a video podcast. It's a great question, but the answer is actually very, very simple. The answer is that. The way you start a video podcast is exactly the same way. It was start an audio podcast. You need to understand exactly why you're doing this, what the name of the show is, what the position of the show is, who the guests will be, what the divine will be, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. As I have spoken about in a blog post holding below, and also in another episode in this series. So all of the same stuff applies. You still have to give a clear reason for why someone should subscribe. You still have to work really hard to make the audio content super valuable for a very specific persona. And the whole video aspect comes in. Well, actually, if you're recording an audio podcast, you really should be recording video. Anyway, as, as an interview, if you're hosting the episodes, you need to see your guests. You need to look at your guests in a face to understand when they're being passionate, for example, or whether that question should be edited out. And so I recommend always recording video and we recommend recording, uh, guest audio on zoom. So you have a zoom call essentially with video on you record that. You can also record your audio separately, locally on your machine with a tool called audacity it's free. So you get better quality audio and your. Getting okay. Audio for the guests. You're not asking them to do anything complex cause you don't wanna, you don't wanna make the process too complicated for the guest. And so if you do that, then you can, and you're going to be recording audio. Now you're going to be recording audio and video, and then you can simply take the video file that you get from the zoom recording. And you can upload that into YouTube, YouTube, if the core platform for. Uh, video podcast, uh, apple recently allowed video podcasts, but the, the, the consumption of video on apple podcasts is significantly lower than that on YouTube. And so you just need to have the ability to create a Payless, to create a YouTube channel and make sure that all of your episodes are uploaded there and they are tagged with relevant keywords. You put relevant keywords in the title and description of course, to get that lovely inbound search traffic. Now, of course, it'd be cost once you you'll take the zoom audio. You'll. And there's in video, you will have to load the audio to be cast. And then what, because we'll do for you is, uh, send that audio along with a optimized thumbnail through to YouTube. Uh, if you don't want to have the live video on YouTube, so you can choose, you can even have the video just with an image and the audio, or you can have the live video that's up to you. So, because we'll automatically put on the audio and that image, if you want the live video, you have to upload that separately. So in summary, a video podcast or starting a video podcast is exactly the same process of starting an audio podcast. You are just publishing the video as well, which we actually recommend to all of our clients, to all of our B cast users is to. Actually produced the video as well. Typically not the live video, unless the, unless you're really serious about editing, but, but to definitely put the audio along with the image onto YouTube, because YouTube is growing massively really, really like great inbound first traffic. So it's just basically extra exposure for your show, uh, for doing very little effort. Cause because we'll do that once domestically, I hope that helps. And I'll see you in the next episode.</div>

<div>14 day free bCast podcast hosting trial: <a href="https://www.bcast.fm">https://www.bcast.fm</a> Blog post with the best podcast equipment to get started: <a href="https://www.bcast.fm/blog/best-podcast-equipment">https://www.bcast.fm/blog/best-podcast-equipment</a> Transcript: How much does it cost to start a podcast, really, as much of a, you want it to cost is the real answer. But I think let's break this down into like a very streamlined approach and then a, like a more lavish approach. Then we're going down the streamline approach, really the minimum to actually make some impact. You actually have to spend money on two things. The first thing is a microphone. If you don't have a good mic, It's going to sound rubbish. You're never going to get any business. So they've definitely something worth investing in. We recommend the blue Yeti. There'll be a link below about a hundred dollars. The second thing you need is good software to host and distribute your audio. Again, there are free options, but they don't have the power. They don't have the feature that you need to actually get listeners. And so be cast, we start at 50, no, actually $12 a month. So I think. Everything else can come for free. You can use zoom for free to record audio. You can use audacity for free to record audio locally on your computer. You can use Calendly for free for booking and guests. LinkedIn is obviously free for finding guests. Uh, you can do the design work yourself. So the two minimum things you need to get started in the, in the very like streamlined version. Obviously you're going to be using a laptop, which I assume you have or computer that I assume you have. Is a hundred dollars one off and then about $12 per month, two for the hosting. So the whole thing basically, or you upload all your audio, all the information about the episodes and they will distribute to all the directories YouTube. You can do loads of extra cool stuff on that to help get the content out there. So a get good content with the mic, be get the content out there with a good podcast hosting solution, such as cost. Of course. So that's a streamlined version, hundreds hundred straight up in the $12 per month. The more lavish version. You could spend a couple of a hundred dollars on a better mic. You could invest in getting premium version of zoom. You could get premium version of Callan Lee. You could buy a new laptop. You could buy Southwest. That's just the script that will help you edit. Um, so all this stuff, it could go up to thousands of dollars to get started. If you wanted to, you could rent out a podcast studio. These are all things you could do that will add marginal increases to your. To the quality of your show. So what we actually recommend is starting with a streamlined version. Once you see listeners wants you to maybe make some revenue from affiliate, once you maybe make some revenue from sponsors, then you can start investing more. Maybe getting a producer, getting an editor, renting out a studio, getting a better mic, buying better software, but there's no point doing that. If you don't know if your content is going to resonate with your audience. So start off with a streamlined solution and then move forward to it and start investing more. As you see the audience grow. And as you see the revenue from your podcast also grow. So to summarize, pick up a blue Yeti, sign up for a free trial at be cost $12 a month. After that, if you pay annually $15 a month, if you pay a monthly and you can get started with your pocket cost today at very low cost.</div>

How Much Does It Cost To Start A Podcast

<div>14 day free bCast podcast hosting trial: <a href="https://www.bcast.fm">https://www.bcast.fm</a> Blog post with the best podcast equipment: <a href="https://www.bcast.fm/blog/best-podcast-equipment">https://www.bcast.fm/blog/best-podcast-equipment</a> Transcript: How to start a podcast from home. And I think if we were talking about this topic, like two years ago, it would be a much harder topic to do. Because previously many podcasts would meet the guests in person, the remote technology with not as good laterals wander those screens weren't as good. But now after the pandemic, starting a podcast from home is extremely easy. And in this episode, I'm going to break down exactly what you need to do, what you need to know and what equipment. You will need. So first off, let's start with hardware. So you obviously need a laptop. I'm assuming if you listened to this, you probably have a laptop. You can do this on a mobile based, just so much easier on a laptop. So you need a laptop first. You, then you don't necessarily need a good mic and external mic because you can use your hands free on the headphones. You can use the mic on your webcam or your laptop, but the audio quality is going to be poor. So we recommend the blue Yeti, which is about a hundred dollars. I'm using it right now. Really easy to use. Great phone quality. So the second thing is a microphone. If you have a laptop, And if you have a good internet connection, and if you have a microphone, you can, that's basically, you're basically there, let's go into some more advanced topics now. So we also need, uh, a mechanism to speak to our guests. Now we recommend that she just recording on zoom. It's free under 40 minute calls. Everybody now knows how to use it. The video and audio is always great. So we recommend recording episodes on zoom, but at the same time, we also recommend recording episodes, recording the audio for you locally on your machine on or Udacity, totally free software. Very easy to use. So you record both on zoom and audacity, so you get great quality for your audio, but you also don't make it hard for the guests, uh, trying to get them to use some complex tour. So you've got the laptop. You've got the mic. You've got a DASSI, you've got the theme. You've got a good internet connection. That's basically all you need. Now. Of course, you need to go and find guests. You need a topic to talk about. We use Calendly to book and guests, so we'll go out to LinkedIn to find gas. We'll get referrals from old guests. We'll send them a link to Calendly a book into our calendar that integrates with zoom. So that the zoom link is added automatically into the calendar invite. So you just jump on the calendar. Like when it's time for the episode, after the episode, we then upload all our stuff to Google drive. Uh, our whole, we have an agency equal fame. The whole thing is remote. We, all of our clients, we run 18 podcasts for clients, big businesses, small businesses, none of the assets have ever been in-person. So it's all remote. Everything's done from home. And this is the beauty of the internet. And the podcasting world today is you can be completely remote. You can do everything from home and the podcasts can sound as professional as that would be in a podcast studio. Yeah, just a final note on that. You get better. The audio, if you're in a small room with soft walls, that's essentially what a podcast do you do is they have great mix. The rooms are small and they have soft. So if you can record in a room that has. It is small and as soft rock walls, you're going to get better sound quality so you can even record and your cupboard has softballs cause it's probably close and it's probably quite small. That will get you better sound quality. But again, that's kind of advanced stuff. As long as you have a blue Yeti, you have a laptop, you have a good internet connection. You're going to be able to create great audio content. That is all for this episode on how to start a podcast from home. Thank you so much for listening.</div>
